A good Samaritan was passing by and saw the attack, he was able to scrae the dogs off by firing his gun. Emergency personel arrived and Waltman was flown to an area hospital, where both of arms would undergo amputation.
Justin Minor, the man who owned the dogs, has been charged following the attack.

The case is set to be heard by a Grand Jury in the upcoming future. Waltman's family says that she has undergone a myriad of surgeries in the weeks since the attack, but thankfully she was able to recover enough to return home earlier this week.
